Right Side
Panel
To reduce the risk of tipping the
range, the range must be secured
by a properly installed anti-tip
bracket. See installation instructions
shipped with the bracket for
complete details before attempting
to install.
For Freestanding Ranges
To check if the bracket is installed
and engaged properly, look
underneath the range to see that
the anti-tip arm attached to the
side panel isengaged in the bracket. On some models, the storage drawer
or kick panel can be removed for easier inspection. If visual inspection
is not possible, slide the range forward, confirm the anti-tip bracket is
securely attached to the floor or wall, and slide the range back so the anti-
tip arm slides just under the anti-tip bracket. If the range is pulled from the
wall for any reason, always repeat this procedure to verify the range is
properly secured by the anti-tip bracket.
If you did not receive an anti-tip bracket with your purchase, call
1.800.626.8774 to receive one at no cost (in Canada, call 1.800.561.3344).

[A WARNING IlHPORTANTSAFETYNOTICE
The California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act requires the Governor of California to publish a list of
substances known to the state to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
The fiberglass insulation in self-clean ovens gives off a very small amount of carbon monoxide during the cleaning cycle.
Exposure can be minimized by venting with an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.

temperatures may lead to a burst of flame from the
oven. Failure to follow this instruction may result in
severe burns.
iA WARNING 1COOKTOPSAFETYINSTRUCTIONS
Never leave the surface units unattended at medium or
high heat settings. Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers that may catch on fire.
_:,Never leave oil unattended while frying. If allowed to
heat beyond its smoking point, oil may ignite resulting
in fire that may spread to surrounding cabinets. Use a
deep fat thermometer whenever possible to monitor oil
temperature.
To avoid oil spillover and fire, use a minimum amount of
oil when shallow pan-frying and avoid cooking frozen
foods with excessive amounts of ice.
_:,Useproper pan size--select cookware having flat
bottoms largeenough to cover the surface heating
element.Theuseof undersized cookware will expose
a portion of the surface unit to direct contact and may
resultin ignition of clothing. Properrelationship of
cookware to surface unit will also improve efficiency.
_:_Onlycertain typesof glass,glass/ceramic, earthenware
orother glazedcontainers are suitable for cooktop
service;others may break because of the sudden
change intemperature.
To minimize the possibility of burns, ignition of
flammable materials and spillage, the handle of a
container should be turned toward the center of the

Cooking Tips
mUsemedium- or heavyweight cookware.
Aluminum cookware conducts heat faster
than other metals. Cast-ironand coated
cast-iron cookware isslow to absorb heat,
but generally cooksevenly at low or medium
heat settings.Steelpans may cook unevenly
if not combined with other metals.
mDonot overfill cookware with fat that may
spill overwhen adding food. Frostyfoods
bubble vigorously.Watch foods frying at high
temperatures. Keep range and hood clean
from accumulated grease.
m Toconservethe most cooking energy, pans
should be flat on the bottom, havestraight
sidesand tight-fitting lids.Hatch the size
of the saucepan to the size of the surface
unit. A pan that extends more than an inch
beyond the edge of the drip pan traps heat,
which causes"crazing" (finehairline cracks)
on porcelain,and discoloration ranging from
blue to dark gray on chrome drip pans.

Adjust the oven thermostat--Easy to do yourselfl GEAppliances.com
You may find that your new oven cooks differently than the one it replaced. Useyour new oven for afew weeks to become
more familiar with it.If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the thermostat yourself.
Do not use thermometers, such as those found in grocery stores, to check the temperature setting of your oven. These
thermometers may vary 20-40°F.
NOTE: This adjustment will not affect the broiling temperatures or the self cleaning temperatures (on some models). The
adjustment will be retained after a power failure.

The type of margarine will affect baking performance!
Most recipes for baking have been developed
using high=fat products such as butter or
margarine (80% furl Ifyou decrease the fat,
the recipe may not give the same results as
with ahigher fat product.
Recipefailure can result ifcakes,pies,pastries,
cookiesor candiesare made with low-fat
spreads.Thelower the fat content of aspread
product, the more noticeable these differences
become.
Federalstandards require products labeled
"margarine" to contain at least 80% fat by
weight. Low-fat spreads,on the other hand,
contain lessfat and more water. The high
moisture content of these spreads affects
the texture and flavor of baked goods. For
best resultswith your old favorite recipes,use
margarine, butter or stick spreads containing at
least 70% vegetable oil.
